If you’d love to have a job that allows you to help people without necessarily working with them on the front lines every day, then medical billing and coding might be right for you. Medical Coders generally don’t interact directly with patients. Instead, they’re in the background, handling patient records and ensuring all the billing and coding aspects of their treatment are handled properly. (Introverts are welcome!)

Here are five other benefits to becoming a professional medical coder:

1. Array of Employment Options

Having the skill set of a medical coder allows you to work in dynamic job markets. Medical Coding specialist work in hospitals, clinics, physician offices, clearinghouses, health insurance companies, urgent care centers, nursing homes, administrative support centers, and medical laboratories. The list goes on. Are you a night owl? No, maybe a morning person? Or, are you perhaps just the kind of person who likes to be able to work when they want to work? Then you should pay attention here.

Since most of the institutions employing medical billing and coding specialists operate 24/7 – such as hospitals – there’s a need for all kinds of shifts.

2. Work from Home!

It may be time to break out your favorite pair of jeans or sweatpants. Because most of the work done by medical billing and coding specialists is done on a computer, most employers offer the option to work from home for some part of the week.

Whether you’re a young professional who’d like to skip the commute on occasion or a busy parent who’d love to spend more time around their kids, this option is a monumental advantage.

3. Practical Dress Code

People who enjoy wearing a suit, tie, heels, or other formal wear every day to work are generally few and far between. Those clothes are expensive, uncomfortable, and often not too friendly when the heat of summer comes into full force. That’s why working in healthcare can be a fantastic alternative.

Most people working in medical billing and coding are able to wear scrubs to the office every day. Wonder what that feels like? Well, they’re designed for comfort, so that should give you an idea.

4. Vast Amount of Career Growth Opportunities

Nobody likes the idea of getting stuck in a position without any real chances to grow. It can leave you feeling frustrated, stuck, and looking for new opportunities elsewhere. Luckily, getting certified and working in medical billing and coding can put you right in the middle of the entire medical administration field. That means there’s the possibility of expanding your skill set and potentially moving up the ladder to becoming a healthcare administrator one day.

5. A Cool Job Title!

You’ll be able to say I’m a “coder.” That just sounds awesome! Software developers use coding languages to write software, while medical coders input correct code sets into software.

If you’re interested in any of these awesome benefits, a medical coding career may be for you.

The online course or 3 day boot camp is a must! All materials covered are easy to understand as Mrs. Ortega goes through it all step by step showing you the easiest and fastest way of getting the correct codes. She truly is a God send and answer to my prayers!read more

I want to thank MCA for their E&M training. I have been taking an online course through another school and doing pretty well. However, I was completely lost when it came to E&M. Mrs. Ortega made it so easy to understand and her passion for coding is contagious. I was smiling through the whole video. I will be checking out MCA for my future coding credentials. You are truly a Godsend.read more

I want to thank Mrs. Ortega for offering the Online Video course. Her explanations were broken down easy enough to understand. Her colorful underlining in the videos helped me locate the key points to assign a medical code without reading the whole story. She alerted the student when it was necessary to read the whole medical case documentation. With the Evaluation and Management section I was quite impressed on how she labeled the CPT manual in order to figure out the leveling with confidence. Her tips and tricks gave me enough confidence for me to go out into the work force. I want to thank you for your Online Video course and please continue publishing. I give you a 5 STAR and recommend this course to anyone. Thank you, Carol Walter GO TO CODER Online course Gainesville GAread more

So now that I have a chance to settle back into self after the extreme bootcamp this pass 3 days, I wanted to take time out to say thank you sooo much Mrs. Ortega. Not only did you give me the weapon of knowledge to do my exam today, you restored a sense of faith that I didn’t know I have been so far away from. The most rewarding feeling is knowing that someone else is fighting just as hard as you are to succeed and speaks it to existence EVERYDAY. But the true MVP is your husband. For those who will read this, she works hard day and night to give success by shining light and faith onto her students; but he works even harder in the shadows to make sure the light inside her heart for who she is and what she is doing for others shines brighter. I’m a winner because of you guys. And if I don’t miss ANYTHING else, I’m definitely going to miss your smile. Thank you both. And for others reading this, if you are interested enough to look her up, don’t doubt making that move to see her. TAKE THE CLASS! You want to see it to believe it TAKE THE CLASS!!! But if you don’t want to take you future seriously (in Mrs. Ortega’s voice (for those who took her class)) keep it moving.read more

I took the 3 day CPC course in December 2019 and it was amazing! I came to this course with ZERO knowledge of medical coding and Ms. Ortega was able to give me a great foundation of knowledge and understanding in just 3 days. The teaching style is quite engaging and enjoyable so there was no time for my mind to drift. Ms. Ortega was helpful and answered student questions during the course as well. I left her class feeling confident to dive into this career change. Thank you, MCA and Ms. Ortega!read more

I went back and forth over purchasing this class as I was in the middle of the AAPC course and hating every moment of it. I prayed about it a lot! I saw #trustingod on one of the posts and decided to take the chance. I finished the class and took my mock exam yesterday. I finished with an hour and 16 minutes to spare and passed with an 84%. (I finished the class 3 weeks ago and took the test without studying- could have done even better if I had followed the course and taken the test right away) everything about this class and Mrs Ortega and all of the team that I have had the opportunity to deal with has truly been amazing! i can not say enough good about the class and the staff! If there is anyone out there considering it or going back and forth, DO IT!! You won’t be sorry, I promise!!read more

This woman is God sent. Mrs. Ortega is a one of kind instructor. I’ve never had an instructor that is so eager to get her students to pass the certification exam. She is very passionate about medical coding and her students. I’ve taken her 3 day class and it was nothing short of amazing. Trust me it’s a lot of hard work but the end result will be great! I highly recommend Medical Coding Academy. One thing to remember is DO EXACTLY WHAT THIS WOMAN SAYS!!!read more

Mrs Ortega is very passionate about her students and will go above and beyond to make sure you have all the tools to pass the exam and be an amazing coder. The hours were long and fast paced but, definitely worth it. I highly recommend MCA to anyone that is interested in becoming a coder. I’ll definitely be back for the alphabet soup !!!read more

Ms Ortega is a wonderful teacher and I highly recommend Medical Coding Academy. I took the Online Course and it was amazing. I learned so much. Just recently sat for my exam and now awaiting results. Thank you Ms Ortega for answering the call of GOD to teach. Be Blessed!!!read more

Hey, just wanted to tell you that I love love love 💕 the new 350 cases workbook!!! I have only done 10k but am at 💯 with it!!!! It's laid out beautifully, I hope this confidence continues!!! I appreciate all of your (MCA)hard work to help us pass the test!!!read more

I recently attended the 3-day Medical Coding Class in Dallas, Tx taught by Ms. Delissa Ortega. Before this class I did take a 9-month course in coding at a local college. However, I feel that I learned more in the 3-day class then the 9-month course. Ms. Ortega is a very dedicated teacher my and she inspired me to accomplish goals. I feel this course has prepared me for a rewarding future in the medical coding field. Also, you will learn something new if you decide to attend one of the courses that are offered. Michael Johnson McDonough, Ga.read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mrs. Ortega and the entire MCA team! I completed the Medical Coding Academy online course in 6 weeks and passed the CPC Board Exam 5 days later! I have been out of the workforce for 13 years raising my children and I was very nervous about taking on a brand new career without any prior knowledge or experience, but Mrs. Ortega's stellar reputation and all of the 5 star reviews gave me the confidence to go for it. And I am so glad I did! The online course is amazing! It is organized and easy to follow with clear instructions every step of the way. I loved doing the online course because I could go through each section as many times as I needed to get a strong understanding of the material. The MCA team was a huge resource as they were there to answer any questions along the way. And even though Mrs. Ortega was not physically there with me, I could feel her genuine desire for me to succeed. Her innovative teaching and test taking strategies coupled with her clear and to the point teaching style are a recipe for success. "Do everything this woman says!"read more

The entire experience was amazing. Ms. Ortega is so confident, and rightfully so. She has a brilliant way about teaching and I don't feel as if I stood any kind of chance of passing my board exam without having attended her 3 day course. She has put together a fool-proof system that not only allows her students to pass their exam, but makes them feel super confident in going into the work force as a certified coder. I look forward to continuing my education with her. I passed my exam on the first try!read more

In October, I attended MCA CPC 3-day Bootcamp in Atlanta taught by Mrs. Ortega. The decision to register was difficult due to finances; however, it was one of the BEST decisions I’ve ever made. Mrs. Ortega’s teaching passion was evident from the beginning of the bootcamp until the very end. She was answering questions even as she was leaving to catch her flight. She is an AMAZING teacher. Not only did she explain coding techniques, but she also shared a wealth of knowledge on what to expect in the real world of coding. She encouraged, motivated and challenged us not to stop at a CPC credential, but to pursue additional credentialing (which I will ONLY do through MCA). I had taken two other coding classes prior to MCA and neither educated me the way Mrs. Ortega and the assigned required pre-work has. Yes, you will have to put in the work, but I’m pleased to report that I PASSED the exam on my second attempt after being only 4 points off on my first attempt. First, Praise be to God and second, Thank You Mrs. Ortega. I’m already preparing to register with MCA for my next certification. If you’re contemplating on whether you should register with MCA, I pray my review will assist you in that decision. Let 2020 be the beginning of something NEW. Again, my sincere thanks to Mrs. Ortega for giving us your “ALL.” May God continue to Bless You!!!!!read more

I recently took the three day intensive class and all I can say is wow! When I sat for the board certification test I felt sorry for the people there that took their classes at a community college or another online program. There is alot of information to learn in three days, I compare it to learning 6 huge reference books. However Ms. Ortega has a gift to teaching this subject very thoroughly so that you learn it thoroughly. She also teaches on how to take the test so that when you finally taking the test you are very familiar with the format. This woman is gifted and she cares about you and will sit down with you to go over any obstacle that you may have. I plan on advancing to other certifications and will gladly fly to Texas again from North Carolina to be a student of the Medical Coding Academy. It simply does not make sense to spend 6 months in a class elsewhere and still not receive the knowledge and passion from this organization. I am very grateful that I made the decision to attend this 3 day class. I am completely new to this industry and feel validated that I made the correct decision and will gladly do it again. Thank you Medical Coding Academy and Ms. Ortega.read more

Mrs.Ortega is an amazing teacher. I had taken my first CPC exam 5 years ago and failed😔. Life happened and I never retook it until this past weekend. A good friend recommended Medical Coding Academy to me and thank God I took her advice. I took the course online while also taking 2 regular college online classes for my bachelor's. I am happy to share that I passed, oh and I took the test while being 34 weeks pregnant. If it wasn't for God and him putting Mrs. Ortega in my life I would have failed again. She made it simple and I praise God for that. God bless you Mrs.Ortega. I highly recommend this course ...do everthing Mrs. Ortega says and you will pass!!!!!read more

This "Boot Camp" was fantastic from the word GO! Miss Ortega and every single person on her staff for that matter are there to make sure NOBODY gets left behind. YOU work hard no lie, hence my reference to the "Boot Camp" but they all work just as hard as you do & right along side of you. ALL questions are answered no matter how many times it takes to make sure we are all on the same wave length. Miss Ortega has a truly Blessed nature for teaching and and does a fabulous job! She is the most caring person I have ever taken a class from, she is not there for the dollar signs she is there for pleasure of helping you to succeed and improve your own self! I learned more in the 3 days I had with her than I did in any face to face course I had taken with Brick and Mortar charging me a through the teeth... I am awaiting my results for the exam I took now. Thank you, thank you, thank you.... will never truly show how much I appreciate what she and her team have done for me!! However; the fact that I will be back for another "Boot Camp" to get to the next Alphabet Credential, does say a lot... I could not and would not dare try it without the Medical Coding Academy Team!!!read more

I took my exam on December 7th and found out I passed with a "B" average! I only studied the Medical Coding Academy online program for 2 months while working full-time! This program is amazing and I am so happy I followed my gut and paid for this program! Please keep doing the online program for other certifications!read more

Way to go! Miss Ortega is great. If you are even thinking of medical coding, just go for it. She will map your future and consider medical coding academy and the reviews don’t lie.. come and believe it yourself. It was amazing when i took the exam after her class and passed it.read more

I have never had a teacher like Miss Ortega. You can really tell she is passionate about what she does and providing a future in coding to others. SHE REALLY LOVES WHAT DOES! I’ve never had a teacher break things down the way she does. The class is fast paced, so you better get that pre work done. She gives you ALL THE TOOLS YOU NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL. All you have to do is listen to her.. listen to everything she says, don’t over think it, and do your pre work! I was very confident going into my test.... nervous, but CONFIDENT! I had no coding experience but years of insurance authorizations and was feeling a little stuck.. not anymore. This class is your opportunity...This is class is real, you will learn coding and YOU WILL PASS YOUR TEST!read more

I recently attended MCA 3day Boot Camp for CPC, I’m still Floating off Confidence. Mrs. Ortega teaching skills is one of a kind! She’s passionate & driven to help ALL her students succeed. I already have a coding certification but I was lacking the depth concept, listening to Mrs. Ortega explain cases, rationale answers finally a light bulb went off. All these years I’ve been hesitant to obtain my CPC...shame on me! I’m ready to go for CPMA next!! Do NOT waste your money on any other school, MCA is worth the investment!!!read more

Don't go here! Unless you're serious about going after what you want and passing the AAPC CPC test. I mean, wow. What a grueling 4 days! Delissa Ortega delivers on her promises and found a way to hack the test. Her information is on point and so is the delivery of it. I took the test and find out my results next week.read more

I just took this class in Dallas these past 3 days and took my test today. Not sure if I will pass or not because I ran out of time and had to do some guessing which Im not happy about. If I would’ve had another hour, there’s no doubt I would pass the test. While I was taking the test, I was feeling very confident and happy because everything we discussed in class was in the test and the “Pot of Gold” was very useful. Those 27 questions were an easy ride for me. I’m glad I took them in the order that Mrs. Ortega recommended. I could hear Mrs. Ortegas voice in my mind saying like it and keep it moving. Lol! Overall, the test wasn’t hard because this class prepared me very well and I did everything that woman said. My book came with missing pages and Mrs. Ortega was so kind and gave me those pages from her book. I ended up needing them for the test. This class was great. I wanted to wait until I took the test to write a review for this class. This class definitely prepared you with EVERYTHING you need for the test. Mrs. Ortega is very passionate about it, very patient and helpful. I do have a few suggestions, but honestly they are so minor that I’m not even going to mention them. I recommend this class 100% and if you do your prework (MUST do), do your homework and pay attention in class, you can easily pass the test. I was really surprised when I started taking the test and I saw that the questions were very similar to what we discussed in class. It’s like Mrs. Ortega wrote the test. 😂 If you are planning to get certified as a CPC, don’t hesitate and take this class!read more

Where do I begin? I took my test today and funny story, when we were in the class Ms. Ortega’s saying is KEEP IT MOVING. By the way, I wore my bracelet to my test. But anyway, she kept saying, pick this answer and KEEP IT MOVING. The whole time I was taking my test, I literally could hear her saying it every time I chose the right one. I even smiled and laughed to myself. Who does that during a test? Thank you Ms. Ortega and her holy crew for being patient with us, and sharing your gift, your passion, but most of all, your time. I felt like a rock star going into that test and with an hour to spare, I walked out feeling just the same, it’s all because of you. When I pass I know for a fact, I’ll be back on here posting that BIG PASSING SCORE! I’m gonna take a picture. Bless you!!read more

Wow Mrs. Ortega she is the Coding/ Test Master. I have never taken a test with such confidence like I just did my CPC. And it was one of the hardest test I've ever take but yet I did so well. Waiting on my results now but I know I PASSED and I can say that all because of the teacher I was blessed to come across. Thank You Mrs Ortega you have gaven me the gift of a test taking technique that has changed my life all my educational have become a walk in the park now all thanks to you.read more

You have got to check out Medical coding Academy! I take the test in the morning and I feel very confident. Be prepared to do a lot of work in those three days! Do the pre work even if you have questions you can edit it later! There is a reason there are no bad reviews, she is the best!read more

The yellow "souvenoir" bracelet you receive on the first day upon entering... Ah! so cute.. but wait, what is the non-colored engraving on the inside?? That's right, scripture! I know now, with God and the gift he has given Mrs. Ortega to teach that I will be just fine! fine! -I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! -I will not self preserve. she believed she could so she did!!!read more

I did the Medical Coding Academy’s online exam prep course. Thank you for this great package that enabled an absolute beginner like myself having no previous experience to pass the CPC test through AAPC on the first try. If you put in the work you will see results and will have all the resources and much more to pass the test, get you to the interview and be prepared for the job.read more

This was an AMAZING experience!!!! You can honestly tell from the minute that she walks into the room that she truly wants to see her students succeed. I had no experience whatsoever, and I was able to understand it. I, unfortunately, did not pass on my first try (due to my own anxiety), but I did as Mrs.Ortega asked and emailed her immediately. She was very responsive and willingly sent me the tools that I needed. I then sat for my test and passed on my next try with FLYING COLORS!!!!! She is excellent and you will NOT regret taking this course.read more

OMG! I just passed my CPC test on my first try! English is my second language and I finished the online school in 2 months. Thank you for Medical Coding Academy 🙏🏻 I wish all of you good luck! Mrs. Ortega is truly the best! Thank you!!!read more

I just took the CPC course with Mrs Ortega and it was great! Not only did she make sure everyone understood the lessons, she taught us techniques that will help us be faster and better coders. You can tell Mrs Ortega cares about her students and she knows how to teach. I recommend her course. I also recommend that when you do sign up that you DO THE PRE WORK! Thank you for creating this course Mrs. Ortega!read more

I had the pleasure of attending CPC 3 day boot camp and I must saying it was nothing but amazing. Mrs Ortega covered not only every part of the test but strategies to make taking the test less time consuming and ways to make the test easier and less stress stressful. Definitely worth the investment.read more

Words can’t come close to describe Mrs. Ortega’s teaching style! She is unique, tactful and called by Jesus. I came into the class on Friday morning, honestly not even sure a teacher would show up...I was skeptical. She was the best teacher I have ever had in my life- including college. I learned SO MUCH and I didn’t even know what coding was at 8am on Friday. It’s Sunday at 5pm and I’m a confident “Go-to-coder” xoxo, Mrs. Ortega, it’s all about youuuuUuuuUuu 😂read more

I have just completed the FANTASTIC course for CPC medical billing and coding. I began this course with very little knowledge on codes. The way Mrs. Ortega instructed her class was phenomenal. She explained everything in such a way that was very easy for me to understand. She also did not go to the next topic until EVERYONE understood and was on the same page. I am extremely confident I will pass my exam on the first try after completing this EXCEPTIONAL course. Mrs. Ortega, thank you so much for EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!! 😊read more

It was a GREAT experience. I learned so much from Mrs. Ortega. She is a wonderful teacher. She knows how to teach. You learn from her. Anyone who wants to go into to medical coding field needs to take her class. SHE KNOWS HER STUFF. The way she teaches you will pass the exam. She is the best in the business hands down.read more

I absolutely recommend MCA, I wasted thousands on an online class, I never felt confident about the material, nor taking the test...I waited over a year to take test, because I didn’t feel prepared...so when I finally took it, I failed...twice...I started searching for a classroom setting & ran across videos with Mrs Ortega, MCA...I live 5 hours from Dallas, where the next class would be, but after watching her teaching style & reading the great reviews, I took a leap of faith...I attended the Oct 4-6, 2019 class & I learned so much!!!...she’s very passionate about teaching EACH person!!...her gift of teaching is faith based, so I knew I was in the right place...she’s very intelligent, caring & teaches you how to quickly find codes & apply them correctly...the 3 day is long & tiring, but the end result is nothing short of a miracle, I’m looking forward to taking my test on Oct 19, 2019...best decision I’ve made for MYSELF in over 3 years!!!...so glad I found her & MCA!...thx, blessingsread more

I recently attended Mrs. Ortega 3 day CPC class, and I was simply amazed by her class. I truly learned and obtained all of the information she gave us. I have a hard time focusing and learning the task on hand, but with her knowledge and methods. I came out of her class on day 3 knowing that I was going to Ace my exam! I loved her teaching style and how she puts her faith first in everything she does. I got so much more out of her class than I could have ever imagined. I am so thankful for Mrs. Ortega and that I stumbled upon her Facebook page when I did. I know I kept going back and forth on if I should take the class or not but I’m so thankful that I did! If you are debating between which program you should take, don’t waste any more time and just take this one!!!read more

I just finished the 3 day coding course and I am blown away! Ms. Ortega knows her stuff and is an amazing woman! If you are wanting to be a coder, do yourself a favor and go to Medical Coding Academy..you WILL learn from the best! Thank you, Ms. Ortega!read more

I had the best experience learning something so hard yet so easy me Ortega is the best teacher . I truly loved her class and hope to take it again with another credential . She is the sweetest person and helps understand the Concept. This is the first class I truly have ever enjoyedread more

Just take the class. Nothing else needs to be said! I learned more in three days with Mrs Ortega than I did from all the time I wasted on the AAPC course. Half the people around me had tried the AAPC course route and found it too convoluted too. Now be prepared to WORK, but its worth it! If you sit down, keep your mouth shut and just absorb everything she says you will walk away from this class knowing you can do this. I would highly recommend her class to a person willing to show up and work, NOT COMPLAIN. I am already looking at which one day class I want to come take first for when I pass this test. I will say it again, JUST TAKE THE CLASS!read more

Okay, so, I'm writing this immediately after receiving my pass my CPC certification exam. I finished in 3 hours out of the 5 hours 40 minutes that the exam provides and passed with the equivalent of a B. Ms. Ortega knows her coding. Ms. Ortega knows the test. Ms. Ortega knows what works and what doesn't. This three-day course probably helped me prepare better for the exam than the official AAPC prep course. I've taken both; the prep course is good for the basics, but if you want to pass the exam and pass it quickly, then it would behoove you to attend Ms. Ortega's boot camp. It's well worth the price and the pain, I promise you. Listen to Ms. Ortega. Follow Ms. Ortega's instructions. Do as Ms. Ortega says and eat the exam for breakfast. It really is just that simple.read more

The online was AMAZING!! I loved it!! My friend and I (Lori) both signed up and took the program. We took our test this past Saturday. We both finished in 5 hours!!! Everyone else wasn’t anywhere near done. Also, out of 14 people only 3 of us were taking it the first time. One thing we noticed was the level intensity we gave to the test. We were the only ones mad flipping to codes in our books!! The others were sitting there just moseying along and reading every word..omg! Ms Ortega but omg I PASSED!!!!! Not only did I pass but I got an 84%!!! I’m so happy!! Thank you so much for this program!!!! Also, Lori passed too!! I do believe you were put in my path by God. You were an answer to my prayer!!! I DO know the ONLY way to pass is to use your program!!! By the way, I saw my doctor recently and actually told him pick something and keep it moving and sang the tune “If I have that too.... fix that too”!(a plug to your excludes 2 note for ICD-10😂) Anyway, I just wanted to let you know where we are and how thankful I am for your hard work in bringing this program to us!!! Thank you doesn’t even come close to conveying how I feel!! I booked a cruise for 1 week after my test so I could either reboot to take the test again or celebrate. I’ll be celebrating in the Caribbean this Sunday!!😊 I’m not stopping with this certification. I’ll be deciding which CRC 1 day class I’m attending before the end of the year!!!! Again, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!🎉read more

I took the 3 day CPC course back in August. Ms. Ortega is an amazing instructor. I had contemplated taking an 18 month course. I did some research and watch all her videos. I took a leap of faith and enrolled. It was the best decision I had made for myself. If you are on the fence don't be. You wont be disappointed!read more

I completed the 3-day CPC course in August and it was one of the best decisions I have made. Mrs. Ortega is passionate about helping people change their lives and is so knowledgeable on all things coding related. Her ability to teach is outstanding! I did a lot of research by checking the reviews and watching her YouTube videos, and they are all 5 star which is a pretty remarkable feat in this day and age. I took my exam one week after the class and passed! Thank you Mrs. Ortega and MCA for a wonderful experience!read more

I took Ortega’s CPC class in Dallas the weekend of the 9th and found out I passed 2 days ago!! I recommend her class for ANYONE, even with no medical coding background, because I have none and passed my first try!! I’ve never met an individual more passionate as she is about her courses. As long as you do ALL your pre-work and listen to EVERYTHING this woman says then you’ll pass with no problem! Between her love and passion for medical coding and God her class is truly an amazing opportunity. I can’t thank Ortega and her phenomenal staff for an absolutely amazing experience!! I now look forward to my new chapter in life!! God Bless each of you wonderful people at the academy....😘read more

This course teaches you how to pass the test. There's no unnecessary fluff in this class. you get the info you need. Just do everything Mrs. Ortega tells you to do and you should pass your National Board Exam on the first try.read more

I took the MCA 3 day test prep class after taking, and failing, the CPC exam for the first time. I knew I had a free retake, but realized that the 9 month tech class I took to prepare for the test, did not prepare me enough. I can happily say that after taking the MCA class, I have taken and passed the test on the very next try! Mrs. Ortega is very well educated in the world of insurance coding, and will give you the tools you need to pass the test on the first try!read more

Mrs. Newby is an awesome and amazing instructor!!! I recently attended her CRC class and a week later, I took the exam and passed it. She is knowledgeable and thorough in her teaching and makes it clear and easy to understand. I highly recommend taking her CRC class to anyone who has an interest in Risk Adjustment coding. If you're interested in pursuing a coding career, Medical Coding Academy is the place to do it.read more

I attended this three day class in Dallas. What an intense three days it was. I learn things there I would not have learned anywhere else. I have taken other medical coding online classes that left me feeling totally unprepared to take the exam. After this three day class I feel very confident in my ability to do well on the exam. Mrs. Ortega has thought of everything! She gives us customized homework/practice to do until we take the exam, after the exam and the night before starting our first job to keep us fresh. Mrs. Ortega even gives guidance for the interview and I highly recommend purchasing her USB stick with resume templates letters of interest etc. This class was definitely worth every single penny it cost and I would recommend it to everyone wishing to become a medical coder. Don’t waste your time and money anywhere else.read more

I took the 3 Day Exam Prep Course with Ms. Ortega in Dallas August 9-11 and all I can say is OMG! Ms. Ortega broke everything down in a way that is very easy to understand. I am 100% confident that I will pass my CPC test next month. After I pass my CPC, I plan on going back to Ms. Ortega for my CRC. Thank you, Ms. Ortega!read more

I have been to many diffent certification classes in the last. I have always gotten a ton of information from teachers. I have then had to try and simplify it for myself so so could understand it in a way that is simple and fast. This class and Mr. Ortega have simplified it so much that you just have to get out of your own way and follow her instructions. This past weekend was to say the least, MIND BLOWING!!! Going through this class will open your eyes. It's a very tuff class ibuprofen and caffeine was my best friend for the next few days of class. When Ms. Ortega gets done with the class you are going to want to kick yourself for not doing this sooner!!!read more

I completed the 3 day course (Medical Coding boot camp) and let me say that it was definitely worth the time,money and sacrifices made to attend! Mrs Ortega is a BEAST of an instructor! She knows this stuff so darn well it’s mind blowing! Her passion for this industry and teaching it evident the moment she says hello to her class. I would most definitely recommend anyone who can take this 3 day course or the online course if you interested in Medical Coding. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY on any other program, I guarantee you will not be as prepared and equipped for the National Exam as you will with this Beautiful Gem! Thank You Mrs Ortega for your dedication to All of us as your students! You’re one of a kind! It is stuck in my head and will stay there til test day..”DO EVERYTHING THIS WOMAN SAYS” I am confident and I’ve claimed it! I will pass that exam! Thanks again! Much Love ❤️read more

Mrs Ortega has to be certifiable insane. She breaks down a stupidly long (5 hr 40 min) test into bite sized pieces in just 3 days. Honestly that has to be the craziest thing I've done in my life. And she does it for SO CHEAP. She's crazy! (Crazy generous!) If you're debating about the price, it's so worth it. The AAPC course, directly from their site, is approx twice the price of Mrs Ortega's course AND she's teaching you, not you teaching yourself. I don't even need to compare the price of college to you, do I? Take the course; pass the test; change your life. Of course, YOU need to put work into it to. Mrs Ortega can only do so much hand holding (and she does a lot, trust me). DO THE PREWORK. So important! Do yourself a favor and take her classes while she still offers them.read more

Mrs. Ortega was literally the best teacher I have ever had! I wish to God I had this woman in High school so I could be smarter but anyhoo, this chick literally WROTE the book on medical coding!!! She knows everything there is to know and the best part is she shows you tricks to help u remember things you will use in the real world. Thank you Mrs. Ortega for starting me on my journey to a fulfilled future!!! Ginaread more

So I finished the three day course today and it was nothing short of amazing. Being a biller with just have stuck my foot into coding before was one thing, but after taking this course it has opened up so many more opportunities and the insight she gives on what I can actually achieve is beyond appreciated. I will forever be in debt to Mrs Ortega bc not only did she teach me, she inspired me to reach for the stars. Going into this class I wanted to do better for my 3 boys, but after learning from her and really listening, I also wanted to do better for myself. Thank you SO MUCH Delissa and thank you to her team as well. You guys are amazing.read more

I just finished up the 3 day coding course today and I am SO glad that I decided to take a leap of faith and actually do it. Mrs. Ortega, you are truly a blessing and I can't thank you enough for all the hard work and time that you and your staff put into your program to help someone like me build a better future not only for myself but for my two kids as well. Simply saying "thank you" doesn't feel nearly enough but please just know that I truly am grateful for everything.read more

Just finish a intense 3 day Medical Coding class! It was worth every moment. Mrs. Oetega is a awesome anointed teacher sent from God. She will equip you with everything you need to pass the CPC test. Can not wait for the next class as well as being able to let her know I PASS on the first try. Thank you Women Of God for all that you did this week. Her staff is amazing as well.read more

Absolutely 100% recommend Ms. Ortega and MCA's 3-Day course. Ms. Ortega embodies what a teacher is supposed to be and more. As a student coming from spending 2+ years at a community college and struggling to learn the concept of what coding is in the medical field, I can tell you I actually LEARNED all those years' worth of material and more in just 3 days! All in a concise, uncomplicated, simple way. I'm glad I took the risk and decided to go for Ms. Ortega and I'm positive I will pass the exam in a week's time. Invest in Ms. Ortega and Medical Coding Academy, do the work and you will not regret it. Will update as soon as I pass the exam.read more

I took mrs. Ortega's coc coding 3 day course July of 2019, and WOW!!! she is a Genius, and I do mean genius. she teaches you everything you need to know about coding. When she says she is there for you, she means that with all her being. Do not miss out on the opportunity of having the best teacher you will ever have the pleasure of learning from. I went to school for coding. I learned more of what I really needed to know in mrs. Ortega's 3 day course, than I learned in my 1 year class... she also has a Spirit of love not only for coding and teaching, but for each individual person. PEOPLE, DO NOT MISS OUT ON THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFE TIME, she will prepare you with the knowledge you need for coding. she also prepares you for interviews, what needs to be known and worn to an interview... Mrs. Ortega prepares you for the real world. So in a nutshell, do not miss out on the knowledge mrs. Ortega has to offer! Wait! I forgot that she also has a great tool for resumes... In Truth, Jeanette Hartunian.. GOD BLESS TO ALLread more

I took the 3 Day CPC course in Atlanta last month. It was exhausting, but so necessary. I survived and passed my CPC exam on the first try 88%! Mrs Ortega knows her stuff and I'm so glad I chose MCA!read more

Mrs. Ortega makes it easy to use and understand the coding books and prepares you for the test like no one else can! I feel like I am prepared for the test and will pass with flying colors! Thank you so much for your help this weekend :)read more

Amazing instructor, makes everything a lot easier to understand would recommend this class to anyone and already have to a few family members Thank you so much Mrs. Ortega for sharing all your knowledge with us and making it fun at the same time.. was well worth the trip from Alaska.read more

I got the online course and was given immediate access! Brownie point 1! I got all my exam prep kit materials on the mail and still cant lift my jaw off the ground about how impressed I am with it! Brownie point 2! McA has thought of it all!! Ive never seen anything like it. But the biggest that I've just completed the coding fundamentals module. I'm happy to report that I have already learned more in this one video from Mrs Ortega than I ever did when i was attended the 10 month vocational college..smh!!! cant believe I spent 20k on that school. If you're reading this you need to save yourselves the time and money and get the online from MCA. God I wish I would have found them first! Upward and onward..about to start the integumentary system! update!!! So I just had to jump on here and tell the Academy and anyone else who is reading this that I literally finished the online program about a week ago took my test this past Saturday and found out I passed on my 1st try tonight!! Can I just say I keep driving into my bed and screaming into my pillow that I passed over and over again!!!!! Needless to say I am beyond elevated. Listen guys all I can say is take this course and I mean dont even hesitate! You will never find any course better than the one from mca trust me I should know because I bought two others including aapc and they were worthless but Mrs Ortega teaches with her soul in this course and you feel it through the screen every minute ... Please do not try to go to college or by any other courses because you don't need anything but what Mrs Ortega has to teach you in this online course I'm trying my best here to keep you off on making terrible mistakes OK well I've said my piece I've gotta go best of luck to you all!read more

I got the online program on Monday after finding out MCA finally went online! I am waiting on my exam prep kit in the mail but I was given immediate access to the online training videos! I had a ton of things to do on Monday but I went ahead and watched the first video just to get myself motivated before running out of the house to do all my errands. The next thing I know today is day 3 and I still haven't left the house to run my errands because I've been binge watching ever since! Mrs Ortega steals your heart from the very beginning! She's serious and tough one minute then gets playful and fun the next. She'll get after you and call you out on something but then she totally gets away with it because you know she has your best interest at heart. I felt a duty to report on this program because I have a double master's degree and I have never witnessed a teacher like her. My years of college were 100 percent in the classroom and none of my professors had her energy and fire. But the shocking thing is that all this passion just keeps slapping you in the face and you're not even in the classroom with her! How does she make all of this come across in a video???!!! Its an online program yet she still commands your attention but and keeps it too. Its wild! Thank you teacher and thank you MCA. I only wish you would have gone online 3 years ago because I have ordered 3 different online programs including the one from aapc and MCA puts every last one of them to shame. I just finished the integumentary system and I went from hating that subject to loving it! I'll try my best to keep you all posted! September 17th I just want to scream to the world right now that I passed my board exam on the first try after completing MCA's on line program!!!! Evem though I took a class before mca I found out i really didn't have an idea about coding ...the other program was too focused on teaching things that didnt matter but after giving myself a do or die deadline with mca online, I finished the entire course in 2.5 months! I took the program extremely seriously and learned everything Mrs Ortega had to teach me because quite honestly she is a hell of a teacher the...the lady has a gift .......I never once had to submit a question to them...It was unreal....i am just did grateful to mca and can't wait to land my first job...look out world here I come :)read more

Oh my God! I've never been able to afford to travel to take MrsOrtegas 3 day class but then i saw she took her course on line! I bought it 5 days ago and I'm beyond hooked!! I was one of the unfortunate people who got talked into the aapc online course last year and it was a total nightmare...confusing and highly frustrating!!! But in taking the MCA online course, I'm just so thrilled!!! i broke into tears just watching the very first video because I already knew I had done the right thing. I was immediately addicted! When I say theres something real special about Mrs Ortega I mean it tenfold!!! You can see right away in her passionate way of teaching that this is no job to her but her purpose...her calling!! Her way of simplifying all of the difficult guidelines are are unreal. I have watched so many educators on YouTube but nooone holds a candle to this woman...nobody!!! Not only are you "sucked in" to her teachings but she is so inspiring along the way and when you least expect it she makes you fall off your chair laughing!!! Shes just amazing to watch and her voice is heavenly! She basically does all the hard work for you and spoon feeds us. Indeed this lady truly is the Mother of Coders. Thank you for being a one of kind teacher ..this industry needed you and we are all blessed through you. I will be posting as I get further into the course. P.s. the Take home test prep kit is head over heals genius! Everything you will possibly need besides the online teachings are contained in the kit. I literally threw away every other study guide I ever had...I'm just in shock over this second to none online experience theres no other word for it.read more

I just attended Mrs. Ortega’s 3-day coding boot camp class this past weekend and I must say it was worth it!!! She is talented, smart, blessed and highly favored! I learned so much this past weekend and everything made more sense after she taught it. She gives you everything you need and holds nothing back. She makes it so simple and gives you the confidence you need to pass the exam. She is truly a gem and I love that she loves God and shows it! She is truly passionate about her students and about medical coding. She is the Queen of Medical Coding!!! I advise everyone to take her course because you won’t be disappointed.

I have been researching the courses for years, and this is the best. I would recommend this course for anyone. Thanks MCA and Mrs. Ortega you rock and I'm a rockstar!!!!!!!read more

Just finished up the 3 day CPT in Atlanta and wow what an experience! Mrs. Ortega knows her stuff and is passionate about her mission of leading people to a better career. Her Faith In God was evident in the class as well and that spoke volumes to me. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and equipping me with the skills I need to be successful in coding.read more

I attended Mrs. Ortega's class. This is a whole new carreer objective for me and I was terrified. From the time I entered the class untill I passed my course, and after, I have felt that my success was the highest priority. The caring staff at the academy from the initial phone call to the completion of the class could not have been any more through and professional. I have had 30 plus years in management and a staff like this is what makes any company a success. I want to Thank Ms. Ortega and Medical Coding Academy for making this whole process painless and I look forward to taking my next class with them. If you ate looking to make a change with nothing but a positive experience I completely recommend Medical Coding Academy and Ms. Ortega.read more

I took this course and I must say if you want to learn coding take this 3 day course. Mrs. Ortega and her staff are amazing the class is intense but you will learn what you need to and to keep it moving!read more

Mrs. Ortega is awesome!! I took the 3 day course in Dallas in May and I took my exam a week ago and I PASSED!!!! The class is not a joke, she is tough but if you put in the time you will pass!! I am already looking into taking another course by her!!!read more

I was hesitant to take this course but am so dang happy I did! Went to the Dallas class mid-May and it was amazing. I have an extensive Ophthalmic background, with a small amount of coding knowledge, but nothing like what I learned. 3 days packed full of learning from Miss Ortega, who is a fountain of information. Long days and nights to ensure you have all you need to pass your test and start a new career. If you don’t want to work hard for 3 days I would suggest taking a college course for 18 months instead. I took my test on June 1st and PASSED!!!!!!! Now working on my resume and the rest of my workbook that we were given. A humongous thanks to Miss Ortega and the crew. I couldn’t have done it without you❣️❣️read more

I took the 3day Medical Coding Course with Mrs. Ortega and it was a great learning experience, it is a lot of work but it is worth it. I received today the results of my AAPC test and I PASSED!!! on my first try!!! Thank you Mrs. Ortega for being such an amazing teacher!!!read more

No Medical Experience I recently attended MCA’s 3-day Pre-Exam Medical Coding workshop with my husband (5/17-5/19) .... and let me tell you, Mrs. Ortega is like NO OTHER!! She takes her love of teaching very seriously and puts her ALL into her students. She applies the pressure to ensure you’re prepared for the exam and a successful coding career. She’s very thorough giving you the tools you need to pass the exam, getting the job, interviewing, and your new coding career. During the prep exam workshop she is not the angel you see on youtube. She is this little petite Drill Sergeant who will put the fire under your feet!! The class is very intense, very fast paced, and can be overwhelming if you don’t do ALL of your pre-work. However when the 3 days are over its a big relief because you will be able maneuver through your books, follow instructions, find and understand the correct answers. Her curriculum and teaching strategy makes it fun & easy to find the codes, without needing to MEMORIZE thousands of terminology or anatomy terms. Mrs Ortega was heaven sent! If you’re looking for a teacher to teach you the basics of coding and how to pass the CPC medical coding exam with ZERO coding experience... Then Look no further Mrs. Ortega and her team are IT!! Me & the hubby are scheduled to take the AAPC exam May 25th... I’ll be back to let y’all know we passed!!!! - **** UPDATE WE PASSED**** Thank you again Mrs. Ortega and Staff! May god continue to bless and protect you from the naysayers. Your energy and heart is so pure. Continue to stay on your path blessing the world with your knowledge. The world will eventually catch on! “Keep It Moving”read more

Just finished the 3-day Medical Coding course with Mrs. Ortega May 17-19 and her teaching is phenomenal! I've taken two other coding courses over the years and got nothing close to what she had to offer. Her teaching was great, her staff was wonderful and I left filled so much knowledge and confidence! Her exactly what I needed! post edit: I found out Friday July 19, 2019 that I passed my CPC exam!!!! I couldnt have done it without Mrs. Ortega's 3-day course!!read more

A Power House Teacher!!! Thanks to Mrs. Ortega and the 3 day course I am Eager to take the exam and this time I am so confident about it- I couldn’t say that before. She has so much knowledge and cares for her students. The pre-work and after class homework totally worth the time and effort. I am that person that earned the 2 year Associates Medical Billing and Coding Degree/ Summa Cum Laude. Took the board exam twice and failed. Through the university I learned countless office and AHIMA’s policies but no coding or exam prep. I am still paying the school’s debt and no medical billing and coding certifications yet. I wish I had known of MCA’s courses and save me time and money. I can’t wait to test and post an update. A big shout out to the MCA team as well Mrs. Landers, Mrs. Underwood, Mrs. Newbbie and Mrs. Belen were all so kind and helpful.read more

Everyone who wants to learn coding from the gound up should do this 3 day class!!!I just took the class this pass weekend and it was a life changing moment for me. Mrs. Ortega is the best teacher!!! Now the 3 day course is intense but so well worth it at the end!!! I cannot wait to pass my test on the first try and keep it moving to gain my alphabet soup behind my name!!! Thanks to the whole entire staff at MCA!!! Update: I passed my test on the first try!!!!!read more

My wife and I recently took the MCA, CPC 3 day course in Dallas. We traveled all the way from Atlanta to attend this phenomenal event. When I tell you that this was one of the best investments of our money and time, I am not exaggerating!! Mrs. Ortega and her wonderful team of Belen, Angelica, Ladonna and Susan were beyond great. Words cannot express the feeling we have for them. I will not lie, the 3 days are challenging but so worth it! I am more than confident that my wife and I are overly prepared to take the CPC that we are scheduled for this upcoming Saturday, and we will pass it the first time!!! The energy of the class and the staff is so loving and helpful and inspiring. It’s like the family you didn’t know you had. If you are new in the industry or struggling to pass your CPC certification, YOU NEED TO BE HERE! You will not regret it. I will definitely be back for my COC, CRC, CPMA and the rest of the “alphabet soup”. Keep it moving!!!!read more

Update: I took my CPC exam on June 8th and passed with a score of 82😁 Mrs. Ortega’s class is most definitely worth the investment. Do exactly what she says!

Mrs. Ortega is Awesome! I have struggled with test taking in my past due to learning disabilities; however, her style of teaching made it easy for me to understand. Whatever you do, take the time and money to invest in YOURSELF and take the 3 day class. You will not be disappointed! She has a true passion for this industry and loves to see her students be successful. You will truly be blessed from learning from her and her team. Keep it Moving!read more

I just finished my three day boot camp for CPC and I know I’m ready for my board exam. I cant say enough about this school or Mrs. Ortega to show how much I appreciate the time and effort they put into teaching their students. I look forward to taking another coding course with them, and I already told my daughter she had to take the class when Mrs. Ortega was back in Georgia. Mrs. Ortega has been blessed with a gift that should NOT be taken for granted.read more

My name is Vontreal Daye and I took this class this weekend May 17th... I was so nervous about what to expect. Nervous about if I would learn anything, but more than anything else nervous about if it was a fraud!!! The teacher Mrs. Ortega is AMAZING AND EXCELLENT AT WHAT SHE DOES! I am so excited about this board exam and passing it. Because I will on June 1, 2019. I want to say thank you so much for your teaching and your wonderful spirit Mrs. Ortega! This weekend was hard, but so worth it!read more

Mrs Ortega is a walking encyclopedia of medical coding knowledge. I attended her 3 day course in Orlando and it was intense. For the record I had no prior knowledge of this field. However after Mrs Ortega's class I feel I have a fighting chance of passing my CPC certification exam. Trust me the 3 day course is your best option. Mrs Ortega's teaching system is so on point it seems like she's pouring the information into your brain. you just need to pay attention and take notes. She really feels like your success is her success. Remember to complete your prework.read more

I researched many different programs since I do not have any experience or know anyone currently in this field. I chose the 3 day course with Mrs. Ortega and after completing the course I feel very confident in what I have learned. I appreciated her teaching style and willingness to help everyone. I have been raising kids for the last 19 years and have not been in a learning environment for many, many years so I was not very confident in my abilities to be able to absorb so much information in a short time but decided on day 2 to go ahead and sign up for the exam in 3 weeks because it was all clicking and making sense. Thank you Mrs. Ortega for your time, patience and caring for your students. Update 4/29/2019 - Passed my CPC examread more

I did the 3 day course in Orlando this past weekend and it was life changing. I have had the goal of wanting to be coder for 2 years and currently in the medical field. I have tried classes with the AAPC and that didn't work. Then I did a class online with Penn Foster. It wasn't teaching me what I needed to know. As single mom I was desperate for change and even having experience in the medical field I wanted and need more. I came across a comment in facebook Group from the AAPC how this lady went to MCA. And she accomplished 3 credentials in 6 months. I was like no way. I read Mrs. Oretega reviews and watched her Youtube videos. All of them. I was like there is not one bad comment. I jump out in faith paid for class pack my bags and got to the next class. Which was Orlando Florida on 04/26/19. Mrs. Oretega is the most passionate teacher I have ever met in my entire life being 33 years old. She is straight to the point and she pushed me. She taught me discipline which is hard to do being a single mother and living everyday life. Words can't express how much I am grateful for the 3 day course. I couldn't have made a better sacrifice for my family and I. I know I will pass my CPC exam. This review is not even enough to express my experience. I pray you choose MCA and keep it moving to success. Thank you so much Mrs. Oretega and I pray God gives you what you gave me and more.read more

Mrs Ortega is the real deal... For the last couple of months I have been wanting to change my career. I always knew I wanted to do medical coding but didn’t want to spent all this money and all these months going to school when life is just so busy already . I did a lot of research on different schools in my area and even online classes but I kept getting disappointed with what I was seeing .. So one night, literally one week before Mrs Ortega was to held her 3 day course in Orlando I stumbled upon her program. After reading all the wonderful reviews and seeing her YouTube videos something inside of me told me to go for it and sign up! And boy I’m so glad I listened.. Mrs Ortega teaches with passion , she puts her whole heart into what she does... She lights a fire in you to go after the alphabet soup and have more credentials to your name.. Mrs Ortega is a leader , a strong women , your biggest cheerleader and your teacher ... Trust me you are going to be a believer the minute you meet her.read more

Mrs. Ortega is so sweet and kind! She truly cares about every one of her students. If you do your pre-work, you will do great in class! No doubt this is hard work but so worth it to invest in your future!!! Don’t look any further if you’re looking for your certs. MCA is the way to go ❤️read more

Mrs Ortega is THE MOST AMAZING instructor I have ever had the opportunity to learn from both personally and professionally 😊😊 Her approach to a very challenging subject is SPOT ON!! Worth EVERY MINUTE & DOLLAR INVESTED IN MY FUTURE!! Thank you just doesn't seem enough. Blessings to her in all of her endeavours.read more

I just passed my CPC test on my first try and I couldn’t have done it without Ms. Ortega. I debated for a long time and I can say I don’t regret my decision at all. I was promised that through this 3-day course I will pass my CPC test and that is exactly what I got. The course is not a joke, it takes a lot of determination with less sleep. Ms. Ortega is compassionate and such a beautiful human being, but she can also be a beast in this 3-day course. She will do what it takes for you to pass that test. I will truly treasure the experience I had during this course, and the love that was given to me by Ms. Ortega. Take a leap of faith and you’ll soar through the test!read more

I recently attended Mrs. Ortega’s 3-day workshop and then took and passed the AAPC CPC Medical Coding exam 6 days later. It was my first attempt. Previously, I had taken an online course and afterwards hired a private teacher. Neither helped me to understand coding or prepare for the exam. I wasted 18+ months and thousands of dollars with only confusion and frustration to show for it. MCA was my last attempt…my Hail Mary! Mrs. Ortega takes her role as your teacher very seriously and puts a lot of pressure on herself to prepare you for a successful coding career. She’s prepping you for the workshop, the exam, job interviews, and your new coding career. During the workshop she is your Drill Sergeant not your Zen Yoga teacher. It’s fast paced, intense, overwhelming, and a relief to finally have some solid instructions that you can follow and understand. I needed a teacher who could teach me the basics of coding and how to pass the CPC medical coding exam. Mrs. Ortega took a very large complex set of instructions, rules, guidelines, etc. and organized them in a way that made it easy to get to the codes and sequences that I needed (and understand how I got there). All without feeling the need to MEMORIZE thousands of bits of information (whew). Mrs. Ortega’s curriculum and strategies work if you follow her instructions and I have a brand new shiny AAPC CPC certification to prove it. Thank you Mrs. Ortega, I hope that you continue to persevere in spite of the mounting obstacles placed in your path. I pray God continues to bless and protect you!!! With deepest gratitude, Dejahread more

I took this class March 28-30 & my experience was Amazing. I didnt know anything about coding before I took this class & I passed on my first try. You're in great hands. Mrs.Ortega will teach you everything you need to know plus more. Just trust the process.read more

I took Ms. Ortega's 3-day Boot Camp mid-March in Dallas because I'd heard great things about it and of course, I was eager to pass my CPC exam on my first try. Well, let me tell you... the course is a real Boot Camp!! It's very intense and you really have to work hard, sleep very little and pay attention to everything Ms. Ortega says... in the end, you'll feel tired, but it will all be worth it!! I took my test last Saturday and today I got the awesome news that I passed the test on my first try with a score of 87%!!! I'm sure that without Ms. Ortega's teachings, I would've gotten lost in all the confusing terminology, double and triple guessing myself after each answer and would've never finished the test!! We all know some cases can be extremely confusing, but with Ms. Ortega's strategies, you'll be able to abstract the most important information and answer fast and accurately in order to "keep it going" and finish the test with enough correct answers to pass on your first try!! I had no previous coding experience and I just did!! Thank you, Ms. Ortega!! I sure hope to come back for more of your teachings to obtain more certifications!read more

It took me a while to do this because I wanted this review to be as complete as possible. I took my 3 day course in Dallas March 15-17 and it was such a great experience but it was definitely a time consuming process and a lot of information. I come from a different perspective because I never doubted this program or its intentions. I have learned to follow my instincts and I am truly happy I didn’t second guess this one because I took my exam 3 weeks after taking the course and I passed ON THE FIRST TRY and I got a 90%!!!! With so many positive reviews of this program I will put it out there that you get out of life what you put into it so don’t approach this program or the wonderful people behind it with negativity and expect to get a positive result🙏🏼you are only as blessed as you allow yourself to be and this program will definitely have you counting those blessings once you pass that exam! Peace and love ☺️read more

I attended her 3-day course and Mrs. Ortega has an undeniable passion to deliver and execute the information needed to ensure you pass your boards. I have spoken to a couple attendees from my class who have taken their CPC exam already and have stated that her strategies and tips WORK!! This 3-day course is brutal, starting with the pre-work all the way to the end of the 3rd day. How bad do YOU want it? You will get out of this as much as you put forth. If you are "IN", so is Mrs. Ortega! Utilize her wealth of knowledge to the fullest and LISTEN to what she teaches. She's a "tough cookie" but you have to be in order to deliver the amount of information taught in this course. She goes go out of her way to ensure everyone understands the concepts. I cannot WAIT to take my exam Saturday with a passing grade the FIRST time! ;-)read more

Listen! Mrs. Ortega will light a fire in you and keep it burning! I've never been so motivated and excited to code after having taken the course with her. You feel pumped and ready to take it to the next level. I was ready to enroll in the next credentialing course as soon as I finished CPC with her. She knows this stuff and genuinely cares for her students. I like her spirit and her overall approach. Don't enroll if you're here to joke around....wrong class!! I can't stop talking about how great she is. She gives you what you need plus more. God has truly blessed her and she is being a blessing to her students. If you had ever considered enrolling for coding....this is it! Thank you Mrs. Ortega!read more

The best highlight is the Teacher, Mrs. Ortega she is full of energy and she knows Coding!! So if you need help to pass your coding exams or understanding the guidelines this is where to go. Mrs. Ortega offers a 3 day course and it is intense but I have a better understanding and knowledge of what I need to pass my test and keep going up the ladder to complete other Certifications!! So to all Medical Coders Medical Coding Academy is the place to go!!read more

There are no words to describe this class other than AMAZING! I left with a renewed spirit and not only the confidence that I can pass this exam and will on the first try, but that I have truly taken the first steps in altering my life for the better. Mrs Ortega has such a humble & sweet spirit and really gives her all in these 3 days. The course was tough, you’re definitely pushed and challenged, but it’s well worth it in the end. I wasn’t sure what to expect but Mrs. Ortega will have you leaving on that 3rd day feeling well prepared. I can tell that all she does is truly out of LOVE! You can tell she loves what she does, loves to serve others & is truly gifted and anointed! I’m already looking forward to completely the next credential course with her. I would highly recommend (and already have to some family members) to take this course it truly is life changing!read more

Mrs. Ortega was extremely knowledgeable and very clear on what she was teaching on the CPC three day course. Training was clear, detailed, interesting and informative. She did an excellent job in presenting examples on coding, which were very relevant and she made the code very understandable. She is an excellent teacher and cares that all of her students learn the material. I would recommend anyone who is interest in furthering their career with coding credentials. I was very impressed with Mrs. Ortega teaching methods. Mrs. Ortega was extremely professional and pleasant to learn from.read more

If you’re interested in becoming a coder, see Mrs.Ortega. In the beginning, I was just like the rest of you who’s reading this. My thoughts were ‘this can’t be real, there’s no way you can become a coder from taking a class in 3 days & knowing anything you were taught’. I mean to go from having community colleges have a requirement of you taking 6-8 weeks worth of courses to become a coder to an academy that’s just 3 days, it’s inevitable to think you can’t become a coder within 3 days. Well guess what?! Mrs Ortega proved myself & the 40+ others that took the 3 day class with me in ATL wrong. She’s such an amazing person and teacher. She’s literally dedicated to her students. If we didn’t understand something, she went over it until we did; & if you were just one of the ones who still just couldn’t understand it, she took the time to give you one on one time to make sure you understood. Due to the current situation of not being able to take the test the next day after, you have to schedule them 1,2, or 3 weeks from the class dates or whenever AACP have test dates available, but please do not fret, you leave her class very well prepared with studying assignments to keep everything fresh. Get out of that space of fear people & see Mrs Ortega, I promise that you will not regret it. Best teacher I’ve had in awhile. Thank you Mrs Ortega, I wish you the absolute best & nothing but elevation for YOU & your COMPANY. I see nothing but good coming your way. XOXO. Raychelle :)read more

The 3 day class is AWESOME!! Mrs. Ortega is an angel sent from heaven and this class is a true blessing. I’ve been trying to find a career that I was going to be happy in because my current career just wasn’t cutting it anymore. A friend recommended me to the MCA and I made the sacrifices and did what I needed to do to get to the class and let me tell you it was WORTH IT! Mrs. Ortega made me 100% positive that coding was a career I was going to love. I highly recommend going to the MCA. Be sure you do the prework they send before class and you’ll be golden! 6/5 do recommend.read more

Awesome Class! I took this class over the weekend in Atlanta, and it was by far one of my best decisions ever. Even though the class was intense, it was filled with knowledge and life lessons.

Mrs. Ortega and her team are uh-mazing! I had many reservations when it came to taking a class with Medical Coding Academy but after my first 3-Day CPC class, I am happy I took the challenge. It is A LOT of work over the three days but worth it. I feel incredibly prepared for my board exam and for "real world" coding.

There is NO WAY I AM NOT PASSING this test. So many people out there think they know everything and have all the answers. Be humble for once in your life. Stop wasting your time and take the 3-day course with Mrs. Ortega and see what the other thousands of students have been raving about. She is no joke. Do you want a job now or a job in a year? Do you want to take your Board Exam on the 4th day after the 3-day course or 4 weeks later? I would definitely recommend the 4th day. Please take advantage of the beautiful, remarkable, smart, and humble lady while she still has the ability to show the world what she knows. See you real soon in Dallas MCA.read more

The 3-Day Boot Camp in Dallas, Texas, was AMAZING!!! I cannot stress ENOUGH what an intense, emotional, blood-pumping, REWARDING experience it was to be blessed with the opportunity of attending. I barely know where to BEGIN! I feel it is an understatement to say that Mrs. Ortega is an AMAZING teacher and a BLESSING to the world!!! Her honesty, passion, heart, soul, drive, and SKILL are all so POWERFUL from the very MOMENT you're in her presence, and lasts for the entirety of the course and WELL BEYOND! Mrs. Ortega is a HIGHLY motivational FIRECRACKER, and will ALWAYS push you to do your best and remember the UNLIMITED potential for success YOU already possess inside!! YOU can accomplish more than you ever imagined, and with NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE required!!! If by this point in my review you're STILL having doubts on whether you should attend, whether or not you "REALLY can do this," then this is my advice to YOU: Follow ALL of Mrs. Ortega's instructions from the MOMENT you step into class. DON'T ask why, DON'T complain, DON'T stomp your feet, DON'T clench your fists tight and rage -- NOT even in your HEAD! I know this may be "easier said than done" for some people, but I PROMISE you, if you just do EVERYTHING she says, you are GUARANTEED to pass the AAPC exam ON YOUR FIRST TRY! YOU WILL! It's just GUARANTEED! Also, I would like to respectfully ask you to grab the nearest Mr. Clean Magic Eraser RIGHT NOW and ERASE the word "CAN'T" from your vocabulary ENTIRELY!!! By telling yourself that something is "IMPOSSIBLE," you're only hurting YOURSELF!!! Do NOT limit yourself like this!!!! If you go into this class with the words "I CAN DO ANYTHING" in BIG bright multi-colored neon lights on a BILLBOARD inside your brain, you WILL make things happen that you NEVER THOUGHT YOU COULD MAKE HAPPEN! I could go ON AND ON (and ON) about how much of an absolute BENEFIT TO YOUR LIFE it would be to JUST give Medical Coding Academy a CHANCE, but you would be reading FOR DAYS! Just TRUST ME ON THIS: DO IT!!!! Mrs. Ortega and the rest of the OUTSTANDING Medical Coding Academy staff will NOT let you down.read more

This class was truly intense, but very much worth it! Ms. Ortega is sincerely passionate about helping students pass the exam so a packet is sent to you before the class to help prepare you for this intense 3 day boot camp. Now I have to admit that I did not pass my exam on the 1st try and even thought about giving up. I had a lot going on personally, and this may have played a factor in my not passing...not sure. However, Ms. Ortega began to text and check on me and continued to encourage me. I scheduled my retake exam and went back to review my notes and had to forget about the initial fail. So the second go around, I passed!! I am now making plans to take a second class with Medical Coding Academy because I believe they can truly help me get to where I want to be in this field. Thank you Ms. Ortega for being who you are and caring!read more

I am so grateful that I was able to attend Mrs. Ortega’s 3 day class and pass my exam. She is such a blessing in so many ways and helping change people’s lives.

Mrs. Ortega is wonderful person with amazing coding knowledge of skills.I took her CPC course last weekend in Dallas,I passed 1st try on the 4th day.i didn’t have any medical background.This test is really hard 150 question with 5hr 40min time .Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us❤️read more

I signed up for this class not having any medical coding knowledge or experience. The class was amazing and Mrs. Ortega is an excellent teacher and motivational speaker! I can't believe how much I learned and how equipped I was to pass the state exam.read more

First I would like to thank God for blessing us with a beautiful soul, Mrs. Ortega!! My friend had taken her 3 day course in 2017 and passed boards on the 1st try. I had taken a TJC coding course and failed by 10 pts on the first try😑 BUT. I decided to give the 3 day boot camp a try Dec 7-9, 2018 and I PASSED my boards Dec 10,2018 🎉😆 I am truly grateful ❤️ You will NOT regret taking Mrs. Ortega 3 day boot camp course!! Just give it a try🥰read more

This past Monday was my 7th attempt at the national AAPC CPC exam. Instead of giving up after the first 6 tries I gave Medical Coding Acedemy a chance. I did the 3 day boot camp and took the test on the 4th day and PASSED with an 87! Yet the best part is before the bootcamp I only knew coding in part but after Mrs. Ortega's class I could see it as a whole picture! I FEEL SO BLESSED to have found this bootcamp and firmly believe I would not have passed without itread more

I passed! :) All thanks to your program and excellent teaching! All of your assistants were amazing and everyone was so nice and helpful. I have already referred two of my friends to you and many more are about to follow. I will be singing your praises to anyone who will listen. Thank you so much. I am definitely a skeptic turned in to a believer. I really needed good news this week. I was worried during the test that my mind would get in my way. My grandmother was sick during this time. She passed away on the 12th. I got to see her that morning. She passed away that night. I beat myself up the entire weekend wondering if I was doing the right thing, but my grandmother would have wanted me to go. That is just the type of person she is. She was 90. She had a full life. I hate that I can't tell her in person I passed because she knew how hard I had worked all year to pass this test, but I am hoping she knows. :) This program is what I needed to pass. I only wish I would have done it sooner! If I knew about it before I can only imagine how many certifications I would have by now thanks to this program and your excellent teaching style. It is very rare to meet someone like you who knows how to break down concepts like these for people to understand easily and to have passion about people the way you do! You are exactly what this world needs more of and I hope you continue to spread your knowledge and your caring heart with many more! Thank you, thank you for everything! I definitely want more certifications, but I have to figure out how to pay for them first. A work in progress I am, but thanks to you and your team I am one step closer...... :)read more

Great Experience!! Passed with 94% Mrs. Ortega is Awesome!! I can't say enough about her teaching skills and dedication to her students is amazing. If you are on the fence, stop thinking about it and INVEST in yourself, do EXACTLY what Mrs. Ortega says and you will pass also. God Bless You.read more

I'm Paul Farley andI'm a career changer. A few years ago, I was teaching and I broke my left femur and after that, I had to find something else. In researching medical coding, I came across Ms. Ortega's YouTube channel. God put her in my pathway. Of that I am sure! Ms. Ortega is exactly the same in person as she is on YouTube. She is passionate about what she does, she is un-matched as far as subject matter knowledge goes, and her enthusiasm shines through. A word of warning: It is a very intense three day boot camp. When she talks about that in her videos, that is no joke!. However, you will be amazed at how much you learn and retain through it all. Her methods for navigating the CPC exam WORK! I promise you they do! Ms. Ortega always says in her videos that she's a text away. She is absolutely telling you the truth. I have to confess, I didn't pass my CPC on the first attempt. I didn't manage my time well enough. However, as soon as I let her know that I didn't make it on the first try, she was on the case. She helped me with extra practice cases, with advice, and with a patience and kindness. Today, I got a wonderful Christmas present when I found out I had passed the CPC. It truly is a beast! As a teacher myself, I here want to say that Ms. Ortega has in a full measure the most important quality a teacher has to have and that is she has a true servant heart. One last thing. If the cost is causing you to doubt whether you should do this or not; if the need to possibly travel to Dallas or to a city near you; if timed tests make you nervous like they do me, do not listen to the doubts. Do what it takes to get signed up for the three-day course. You'll never be sorry you did. And please do the pre-work before you show up for class. You'll be very glad you did.read more

I took the 3 day Medical Coding course in Mesquite, TX, this past weekend and it was Awesome! Mrs. Ortega and her staff were amazing! If anyone is looking for a career change to medical coding, I highly recommend Medical Coding Academy. A big THANK YOU to Mrs. Ortega and her staff!!!read more

What an AMAZING 3 day course!!! Loved it! Mrs. Ortega is a very passionate woman who wants to see every one of her students succeed! She goes above and beyond! I learned more in this class then the entire time I was in college! I took the test on the 4th day so waiting for the results. I have to say thought, all that work from the class was sooo worth it!!read more

My sister and I completed this training last weekend in Mesquite. I have a Master's Degree in Education and she is a RN. We both agree that it was the most intensive training session that we have ever attended. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! Mrs. Ortega is committed to seeing her students succeed in their testing. She clearly and concisely breaks down the extensive amount of information. Her energy and knowledge is remarkable. If in the future, we seek further training it will be with Mrs. Ortega.read more

Holly Witherow I recently invested in a three-day course at the Medical Coding Academy to take the CPC exam. The course offered a no non-sense approach of systematically approaching the CPC exam. The presentation delivers information that allows you to feel more confident in taking the exam. The instructor also linked CPT, ICD-10CM, and HCPCS in a cohesive format to better prepare your approach in taking the exam since time is of the essence and there is a lot to read. In the past, I have had many questions about medical coding and each training day resolved many of my past questions. The organization cares about your test outcome and your personal, professional success. The three days are intense but worth your time. Not only do I recommend everyone to take this course but if you really want to be certified DO NOT THINK TWICE. You will be glad you did it. By the way, I did not get pay for my opinion, nor am I related to anyone in the organization. I am just a student who took the course and wish somebody would have told me about Medical Coding Academy sooner.read more

This was the best decision I ever made after taking a 10 month online course I learned more in 3 days than i ever did online its incredible! I took the test on the 4th day and I felt so confident thanks Mrs.Ortega your the best!!read more

The boot camp this weekend was amazing!!! I was super nervous about paying for and taking classes again for medical coding because in the past I wasted money and time but let me just say this weekend was nothing short of a blessing. Mrs. Ortega is really an amazing instructor that is walking in her purpose. God should be really proud of her. I love her techniques and how down to Earth she is but most of all I really felt at ease when she spoke about paying it forward in life. She has been blessed and now she is blessing others and that’s what the world needs! Her staff were amazing as well. The 3 day class requires a lot but if you do the pre-work homework before the dates of the class- things will flow very smoothly. I would advise everyone that is interested in coding to take this. Don’t allow the other trade schools to take your money and time. This is legit. I plan to take other courses with Mrs. Ortega so I will be part of the ‘alphabet soup’ group! :-) if you sign up - just go into it with an open mind and remain positive at ALL TIMES!!! Thank you Medical Coding Academy for being so professional but yet so heart warming. Now let’s just wait to see the results from the weekend .... Sincerely, A future CPC !read more

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Ms. Ortega and the medical coding academy! I never thought I would be able to fully comprehend medical coding and exceed in my career ... but it is because of her and this academy that has completely changed my life! I cannot thank you enough for such a humble, amazing experience ! It was worth every penny!read more

I have to say that Mrs. Ortega and her entire team made this journey from New York worth it. Her love for God is captivating and it reminds me of why I love God so much. She is not only a life changer but I solely believe that she is a God sent world changer. The entire experience was priceless. I attended the three day boot camp for my CPC and took the test today. I have to say that the Medical Coding Academy prepared me like no other. Yes it is intense but worth it. I am currently awaiting my results. I highly recommend anyone who want to pursue coding to take her. YOU WON"T REGRET IT!! (I still hear her voice in my head!!! She really cares) 😇😇😇🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽read more

update... I Did PASS!!! And with an 86 too!!! WOO HOO!!! First of all... I LOVE how Godly Mrs Ortega is!! She will blessed you beyond measure!! She definitely has a gift!

And I don’t just know I passed it, I’m pretty sure I aced it!! Yay!! Words can’t describe how awesome this lady is!! Listen to what she says, then do what she says and you’ll have those three letters behind your name in no time!

You get yourself signed up for Mrs Ortega’s COC class!! Thank you SO very much, Mrs Ortega!! Couldn’t have done it without you!! 🙌🎉❤️read more

This class was amazing!!! I signed up for an online class in 2016 and never felt confident enough to take the exam. And after three very long days, I have no qualms. I wish I would have known about this program sooner. I stepped out on faith and signed up maybe 5 days before the course began I do not recommend this there is a lot of pre-work get all of this done before. I’m so excited to now take my exam. I love her love, for God and how she’s not afraid to show it. Even if you aren’t religious it’s very digestible. I will be signing up for more classes for sure. Ms. Ortega genuinely loves what she does. I will only recommend this class from now on. Other online classes are a waste of your time and money. If you do not pass it is your own fault.read more

So let me start by saying I WAS SO SKEPTICAL but let me tell you, DON'T BE!!!! I attended the Dallas class Dec.7-9th and I take my test on Dec. 15th. I'm so impressed with MCA!!! I have no experience in medical coding but after this 3day weekend, I feel like a medical coder already!! I know I will pass this test on the 1st try! Take this class, you will not regret it!!!read more

Mrs. Ortega is a wonderful teacher. I feel like I learned more from the class than going to a junior college 2 years for coding. I failed the first time and found out about her class. I am more confidence in myself to take the test again! All of your staff were wonderful!!! Thank you again!read more

If you are considering a career in the Medical Coding field I highly suggest the MCA. Mrs. Ortiz is an amazing teacher. I was in the CPC class this past weekend in Dallas and I learned more in her class in the first day than I did in the two year program I just finished. If you choose the course make very certain you do all the necessary pre work and homework before class it is vital to your success in the class. It was long days but well worth it. I plan to go back for more classes. Thank you to Mrs. Ortega and the teachers assistants. I feel confident about taking my test on Saturday 15 Dec. Please pray for me!read more

This course was fabulous!! I walked in knowing absolutely nothing about medical coding and left feeling prepared for the real world and the board test. Ms.Ortega’s fun personality and way of teaching really made the weekend fly by. I will for sure be back for my next credentials!read more

Ortega changed that for me and my perspective on life... im so excited about this test tomorrow... i will have my CPC on friday thanks to mrs. ortega and her wonderful staff helping us along the way as well... I appreciate ALL of you for your help.. THANK YOU SO MUCHread more

I was a skeptic too... resist the urge to listen to the whole “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is”. This IS the exception!! 3 days to a CPC it’s true! All of the staff and instructors at Medical Coding Academy have a heart for the students! They don’t take your investment lightly! They invest in you and give you all the strategies to succeed! My best advice if you are on the fence... RUN don’t walk and sign up! When you sign up do ALL of the Pre-work and classwork, it is essential to your success! If possible I recommend staying on site even if you are local (you’ll be glad you did). It really is AMAZING!read more

I attended the 3-day CPC course in Los Angeles October 2018 and I just received the news that I Pass on my first try. Mrs. Ortega you are awesome.

I'm going to be honest! After completing this course I was so overwhelmed. Mrs. Ortega went the extra mile to help me pass this beast of exam. I can not express enough how this lady truly cares for her students. My sister in law was hired a couple of months after passing the exam by established company. She started making decent money, 3 weeks vacation, full medical, 401k and works from home. Take this course you will not be disappointed. Sincerely, Shelly Ramirezread more

I took Mrs. Ortegas course during October of 2018 and it was intense but I just so happen to pass my first exam on the first try as Mrs. Oretega tells you, you will! shes awsome and this program is worth the money!read more

I attended the 3-day CPC course in Los Angeles on October 19-21, 2018. The pre-work and the course itself was intense, but you will be SO impressed with what you can do and how much you can handle when you set your mind to something. I learned so much in 3 days and I completed the course feeling ready for the CPC exam. Additionally, Mrs. Ortega is genuine, caring, and one heck of a teacher! It’s difficult to find the exact words to say about Mrs. Ortega because she really is a blessing and one in a million. I did all of the homework after the course and took my CPC Exam exactly one week after. I passed on my first try and I’m officially CPC-certified! I’ll definitely be back at MCA next year for the COC and CPMA courses. Thank you Mrs. Ortega for all that you do!!!!read more

Taking this class was an amazing experience and blessing!!! I could not have asked for a better and more caring instructor. Mrs. Ortega truly cares for her students and for their success. This program best prepares you for getting into the field! It's also the shortest and most affordable one out there. I can tell that a lot of thought, preparation and care went into the design of this program. Don't wait any longer and sign up for the class and then a week later for the board exam!read more

This has been a life-changing course for me! I was curious how someone could be ready to take the CPC exam after a weekend course, but Mrs. Ortega was true to her word and made it happen! I found out I passed my exam a week after the course and exam day. Be prepared to work hard and believe in yourself, believe in Mrs. Ortega (and her magnificent team), and you'll succeed! I didn't know much about medical coding prior to the course, but I feel much more knowledgeable and equipped to continue in this field. Thank you, MCA!!read more

I can’t stress this enough, if you are looking to get certified CPC, COC,...etc..with or without experience in the medical field and you are not using Medical Coding Academy you are doing this all wrong. I did the the CPC 3 day boot camp in September with Mrs Ortega (God sent) and her wonderful team. I have no experience, the 3 days class is very intense but well worth it. Make sure to do all of your homework this is crucial. Mrs Ortega have a heart of gold and she will drill so much information to you that, when you write your test you will feel like she is sitting next to you and “You will keep it moving” 😀 I can’t wait to get other credentials with Medical Coding Academy #CPCDallasTX #MedicalCodingAcademy #BestCodingSchool #CPCBootCampread more

I attended the CPC course taught by Mrs. ORTEGA this last Weekend And wow did I learn a lot in such a little timeframe. I'm going to community college to get my AAS in professional coding but I was getting worried because I just was not understanding how to code properly But when you take her course she breaks everything down so that you can understand it in simple terms. I am so grateful for that, Not saying that the course is easy you will have to put in hard work but in the end when you understand this new language of medical coding all your hard work is well worth it In the pay isn't too bad either. So if you want to get into the medical field As a coder I would do this before college it will save you a lot of time and money She is truly gifted and has a tremendous amount of knowledge in her field, more than I think my own professor's Have. The key to absorbing all the information that she gives you is you have to Do what she says, all pre work and all homework. So if you're on the fence hop off in sign up for her class there's enough coding jobs for all of Us.read more

What can I say.... She is a lot. The class is a lot. It takes 100% commitment to get everything you need. You get only enough sleep to function on. It’s worth every missed second of sleep, every dollar spent, and every thing of ribbon white out I throw across the room. Here is my story... Mrs Ortega is pretty amazing! I took her 3 day class on October 5-7 and took my test on October 13. In between that time hurricane Michael hit my home and I was out of power for 7 days and in the middle of those 7 days was my test. To say I was worried would be an understatement. Yes you come home with homework to keep you on track and keep it fresh on your mind but in this situation it was a struggle. I had no power, a roof covered in tarps, 2 stir crazy boys, trying to help the community and ones that were in worse shape then me, as well as studying and remembering everything Mrs Ortega taught me! If I would not have taken her class I know 100% I would not have even came close to passing. I messaged her with my struggles and told her I was worried. She believed in me more than I believed in myself. At that moment I know she gave me everything I needed and I couldn’t let her down. I didn’t reschedule my test because of the things happening out of my control. I put everything I had into God and Mrs Ortega and I sat down and took that test like I knew every answer! I passed with a 86!!!! She is truly God sent in this field and I will never ever ever dream of trying to further my career without seeking her advice and classes out first. Take heed of everything this amazing woman says. She knows her stuff. Do exactly like she says and everything she says and you too will pass!read more

i don't write reviews often, but when i do, i only write for MCA! stay prepared my friends :) What can i say about Medical Coding Academy and the wonderful Mrs. Ortega that's not already mentioned in all the 5 star reviews from her students? to be honest i'm not sure, it's all been said! Is it the BEST investment for your Medical Coding Career? YES! Is it easy to learn even if you have ZERO knowledge about Medical Coding? YES! Will you be 100% prepared for the BOARD Exam? YES! I'm waiting to take the CPC Exam in a few weeks but i am 100% prepared, and feel confident in passing! I am so thankful for Mrs. Ortega, not only for her teachings, but also her passion for helping people and her ability to give people hope and faith! that's why i only recommend MCA for anyone looking into a Medical Coding Career.read more

i drove 7 hours to Los Angeles last Aug to attend the 3 day course ,so worthy the time and money spent. I was amazed of Ms Delissa's passion and anointing in teaching. She is super multi talented. lady. I passed my exam for the first time, no experience and i'm 60 yrs old. This proved that age and experience don't matter what is important is how good, (the BEST).. the teacher is. She gave me the confidence to do it. She will guide you, give the strategies and gave her heart to help you.....in return of course you do also the pre work and apply every word she said. ....She was really heaven sent . I'm thanking God for the grace and use people like ma'am Delissa to help students. Thank you very much ma'am Delissa for your time with us and be a part of my journey. Looking forward for the next alphabet soup.😍😘read more

There are no words to describe Mrs Ortega and her wonderful team at MCA. My sister and I took her 3-day INTENSIVE medical coding course and I am proud to say we BOTH passed on our first try!! We were so impressed with the Medical Coding Academy, that I convinced my HUSBAND to take her course 2 weeks later! We are thrilled with where this new path of medical coding will take us. Mrs Ortega has this passion for coding and seeing people succeed that you have to experience to understand. Do your research (as I did) and take the leap with the Medical Coding Academy! You will NOT be disappointed, in fact, you will be prepared and confident walking into that exam ready to OWN it, as I did!!! Thank you Mrs Ortega! I can only hope to take your courses for the CRC and COC this year! Please keep doing what you're doing. In a time of upheaval in my life, I am so thankful to have found you and the Medical Coding Academy! Direction, purpose, and achievement is what I have gained from your experience and knowledge. Oh! Not to mention, my CPC!🤗read more

I absolutely recommend taking Mrs Ortega's 3 day course for CPC if you're really serious about being a coder. I sat for her 3 day course just recently here in Atlanta and I'm telling you I couldn't be more prepared for my exam October 27th. Thank you Mrs Ortega for bringing all of your knowledge and energy to Atlanta. You really are the BEST!!!read more

I want to let everyone know how important is Ms. Ortega. The best teacher of this world. She only only wants to teach you but also makes you understand all of the materials. I was never involved with coding, so I thought that the class would be difficult. But Ms. Ortega has you covered in every angle. Everyone in her company is very helpful for Belen to Jessica and everyone else. Highly recommendread more

Mrs. Oretga is a Very intelligent, patient and Blessed Woman! I encourage ALL to take this course with MCA if you want to change your career, and give your wages a upgrade! Love you Mrs. Ortega! Thank you for following the plan🙏🏽!read more

I highly recommend MCA because Mrs. Ortega teaches you how to code quickly and accurately that can help u when u take your exam. She is very passionate about making sure each individual passes their exam and prepares you for the interview to get that coding job. I would consider MCA over ANY coding programs because u receive so much more!read more

I passed my CPC exam at the first try, and I knew nothing about medical coding before her class. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MEDICAL CODING ACADEMY!!! Mrs. Ortega was AWESOME! and very professional. She wasted no time teaching us exactly what we needed to know for the CPC class. I highly highly recommend that you do the pre work before taking her 3-day course.read more

I took the 3 day coding bootcamp in Atlanta in June 2018. Mrs. Ortega was a wonderful, patient, knowledgeable, and caring instructor. There was a lot of pre-work and many nights of only 2 or 3 hours of sleep. It was all worth it. I am now CPC certified thanks to her! You will learn so much and feel confident at the AAPC if you take her course.read more

I went to Mrs Ortega’s Sept. 2018 3-day prep course! It was nothing short of amazing! She is very passionate about the process of learning, she answers your questions and makes sure you understand before moving on in the lesson. I have been Coding(not Certified for over 4years) her course and preparation gave me the confidence i needed... Guess what: I PASSED ON MY FIRST TIME TAKING THE TEST. Thank you Mrs Ortega for your dedication and hard work you put into teaching your students !read more

I took the 3 day Medical Coding Certificate and Exam course 9/7/18-9/9/18. I was impressed with the information covered. I liked the way Mrs. Ortega explained the material. Mrs. Ortega and her staff were very helpful. The course really prepared me for the exam. I took the exam on 9/10/18 and passed. Now I am a Certified Profession Coder. It was a hard weekend, full of long class hours and prep/home work each night after the class ended, but there is a lot of information to cover in just three days, so the home work is necessary. The prep/home work really does help prepare youfor the test. Thanks Mrs. Ortega & staff!read more

I am a certified Medical Coding Coder because of Mrs.Ortega and her team, i passed the test on the first time around! I was very skeptic when i first looked into the class especially because I was going to be travel to Texas for the 3 day boot camp. The 3 day course is no joke, it is a lot of information with long days and hours of homework ever night. However it was all worth it, I was able to retain a lot of valuable information. I think it was imperative for me that the test was taken the day after I completed the course. Everything was still fresh in my mind. Mrs.Ortega gives you all of the tools (her tabbing system makes a world of difference) to pass the test along with the self confidence. As long as you put in the work you will successful! I highly recommend this class to anyone that wants to put in hard work and become a Certified Medical Coder. And I look forward to attending more classes with the Medical Coding Academy.read more

Completed Mrs. Ortega’s 3 day CPC coding class and it was awesome. She makes coding easier and more understandable by bringing it down to lamens terms. I now have codes memorized I didn’t even know about before I came. I definetely feel more relaxed about taking my test. The class was tough and the the homework even tougher but totally worth every minute of lost sleep. Mrs. Ortega rocks!!!read more

Medical Coding Academy is worth the money, time, and sacrifice away from family! If you go into the class with your pre-work completed and fully prepared to focus solely on the course, you will be able to learn and obtain the information needed to pass your exam. Mrs. Ortega and each one of her staff members go above and beyond to help each individual! They truly believe in what they are doing, and after taking the course, I do too! You will have quite a bit of homework every night after class, so there is absolutely no time to vacation. If taking the CPC certification course, you will experience three days full of engaging lessons taught by someone who absolutely wants what is best for you and your future. The Medical Coding Academy staff pour their hearts into what they do! I went in with no experience in the industry. I left with a CPC certification, full faith in the abilities and heart of Mrs. Ortega and her staff, and the tools/materials necessary to immediately apply for a job while practicing the skills she taught.read more

Wow! I passed my CPC exam! Mrs. Ortega and Medical Coding Academy (MCA) took 3 days to teach the CPC coding course techniques that I’ve been studying for years. I did great with my coding online studies through AAPC, but when it came time for testing, I missed it twice. I thank GOD for putting people in my life that has helped me achieve my goal, to be a CPC. Thank you to my husband and family for helping and encouraging me. Thank you to three ladies who are friends/coworkers that also encouraged me and lead me to MCA. Thank You Mrs. Ortega for showing me that I can do this and for staying with your class throughout the long hours. It was so worth it! Don’t hesitate - go for it! You won’t regret it! Take this course and be on your way to a rewarding career! The cost was minimal compared to what I spent for my previous studies.read more

Mrs. Ortega’s method of teaching works! She makes you learn!read more

I took the CPC 3day boot camp first weekend in September with Mrs Ortega. The staff was amazing especially my TA Mrs. Newby. This class was very intense but worth it. You must complete the pre-work and homework in order to stay on track. I took the exam on Monday the 10th with a PASSING result. I highly recommend this boot camp as you will not be disappointed. Thank you to the staff of MCA.read more

Words cannot express how thankful I am to have come across Mrs. Ortega’s CPC 3 day class! I took the time to do my homework and research several other options but the minute I watched one of Mrs. Ortega’s You Tube videos, I just knew this is where I needed to be. Mrs. Ortega is very knowledgeable, very patient, and very dedicated to her students. The three day course was very intense and it was hard work but Mrs. Ortega and her wonderful Team made sure no man was left behind. She has a heart of GOLD and God has blessed her with this incredible gift to help others pass this Exam. It is beyond amazing to see her teaching methods our jaws constantly dropped in disbelief. She is a Gem!!! You will have a lot of homework prior to class, and just as much during your weekend, but don’t give up!!! You will reap the benefits of your hard work and you will be blessed by Mrs. Ortega beyond your expectations. P.s. I am humbled and excited to share...I Passed My CPC Exam on my first try! You too can do the same, believe in yourself, believe in Mrs. Ortega!!! Thank you again Mrs. Ortega and thank you to ALL the Medical Coding Academy Staff!!!read more

When I first looked at the video on YouTube I thought this might be shady...I WAS TOTALLY WRONG!!! This team of people are the REAL DEAL...they are worth every penny. People please don't bother with any other programs out there...PLEASE TRUST ME!!! Is is not about the money with them and you know it when you start to work with them...they LOVE PEOPLE AND EDUCATING THEM! I am so grateful that I took a leap of faith...I encourage you to do the same😄🤗😁😙!read more

I had been looking into medical coding for the last year. I had narrowed the decision down to online courses with either the AAPC or AHIMA. Soon after I became even more indecisive after researching both organizations due to mixed reviews. Then in March I came across one of Ms. Ortega's YouTube videos. After watching the first video, she had me hook, line and sinker!!!! This woman is truly a God Send!! Like everyone now reading these reviews, I thought this is crazy amazing!! OMG this is just too good to be true! How am going to become this Go To medical coder in only three days??? Please believe me when I say, it is truly possible. This is the real deal! During the months following up to the three day course, I had watched all of Ms. Ortega's videos....more than once...and took notes. The course only costs $1280 and MCA works with you in regards to a payment plan. After registering for the CPC course, MCA mails their students pre-work. The pre-work will take roughly 20 to 25 hours to complete and it is truly essential when taking the course. I attended the course in Dallas, TX at the end of July. We had about 95 students attending the class. One student had even flown all the way from Hawaii just to attend! I'm not going to lie, the course is intense but you will learn a vast amount of information in only three days. Ms. Ortega and her MCA staff are truly amazing!!!!!!!!! She is an explosive powerhouse of coding knowledge and breaks everything down for you by having you work from the ground up. I can not stress enough how important it is to complete both the pre-work and homework. The completion of this work can either make you or break you on the board exam. Ms. Ortega also gives you interviewing tips along with helpful real world practice scenarios that will benefit you after you pass the exam. Now with the Dallas course, students are given an option of taking the board exam on the fourth day. I was one of those students who chose to take the exam on the fourth day. Unfortunately I did not pass the first time. It had absolutely nothing to do with Ms. Ortega and her classroom instruction. From what I've heard many students pass on the first try. Unfortunately I was not one of those students. I felt pretty good coming out of the exam room and thought I had at least passed with a 70 but to my dismay I missed it by three points. Three points!!!! You know what though....It's okay. AAPC offers one free retake!!! Thank you God!! After I found out the horrible news, I texted Ms. Ortega. She was extremely understanding and suggested I retake the exam within the month. For the next three weeks, I studied at least one hour everyday. I took the retake exam and a week later found out I PASSED!!!!!!! I'm still elated from the news and can't wait to continue on with my medical coding career!! So in conclusion if you feel beyond confident with taking the board exam on the fourth day then I say go for it but if you're someone who may need more time to study, I would suggest delaying the exam for a couple of weeks. Good luck future Go To Coders!!!read more

Best Course I could have ever taken, I drove all the way from Denver Colorado to take 3 courses all at once so I could get that alphabet soup Ms. Ortega talked about in her other YouTube Videos. If you have the money to take several courses all at once, I highly recommend doing so . I tested out all three of my exams pretty much within the same month and passed all three in the 1st try. Now I am CPC, COC, & CPMA board certified and it is all thanks to Ms. Ortega and her wonderful school, The Medical Coding Academy!﻿read more

Yes! 100% yes!! Mrs. Ortega was incredible, she was a powerhouse of information with an incredible tabbing system designed to guide us into success. I hid my tears after the test because it was hard but I was relieved, motivated, and inspired by her energy. She touched every emotion in me, pushed me to the limit, and delivered a no questions asked just do it curriculum. When she says to trust her, trust her. Although I may have areas I need to revisit for refreshers, honestly that’s on me. Her teaching was on point and if you think you have what it takes to keep up, stay motivated, and follow her lead then you have nothing to loose and everything to gain. I flew from California to attend her class in Dallas. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Mrs. Ortega! 💜read more

I just took the three day course this past weekend. First I would like to thank GOD for faith and endurance. I would secondly like to thank Mrs. Oregtea and Medical Coding Academy. This is by far one of the BEST decisions I've ever made for a life changing experience for me. Mrs. Ortega really has a gift for teaching, she taught the course in a way that if you haven't learned anything about coding before going to her three day course you would be able to understand. Moving forward I feel strongly about becoming a coder, and I will definitely be going to Medical Coding Academy to take more course to add under my belt. Thanks again to Mrs. Ortega and her staff, and remember my name cause you will definitely see it again.read more

Guys it's a no brainer, if you have found this amazing classnot disappointed! Never have I been more confident taking an exam. you will not get this education anywhere else because it was created by the amazing lady who teaches the class Mrs.Ortega💜🙌read more

My experience from the coding boot camp this weekend was so amazing. Mrs. Ortega is amazing and so gifted at what she does. She makes the boot camp so personal. It’s a long weekend of work but so worth every minute! I’ve taken a 9 month coding course and never felt prepared as I have now for the CPC exam. I can honestly say she made it easy to grasp everything I needed to know to take the exam. I will definitely be going back to gain another creditial with the MCA in the near future.read more

This was by far the best class I ever taken. I learned so much in 3 days that most people don’t learn in years. Mrs. Ortega does an awesome job at explaining things so simple for you to understand.

Miss Ortega and her staff go above and beyond, keeping in touch with you until you sit for your exam. I can not stress enough how valuable this course is!!! Thank you Miss Ortega and God Bless You!!😍😍read more

I had been looking into medical coding for months now, but had been struggling to afford to pay to go to college. I came across MCA while I was searching for medical coding courses, and I decided to take a chance! Mrs. Ortega's course is 100% WORTH IT!! I have no background or experience in coding at all, I have only had experience working in retail. I took Mrs. Ortega's CPC Course, and I passed my exam on the FIRST try! Everything you hear about Mrs. Ortega is all true, she is 100% there for her students, and she will do whatever it takes to get you there. Please support MCA and take Mrs. Ortega's class while you can because it truly is a miracle!!

Shout out to you Mrs. Ortega and the staff of MCA for all the hard work and sacrifices you all have made to make this course happen. This is truly going to be a life changing experience for me because now I can finally look forward to having a career, and a future! You have no idea how much this all means to me. I will wake up every morning now, and thank God that I took that class. Especially when I get up to go to work, and be thankful that I get to be a part of the medical industry and do what I've always wanted to do! Thank you MCA - the academy that changes lives and opens so many doors of opportunities! I look forward to being back in again to further my education, and get my "alphabet soup"! And if you have read this far into my post, I thank you, but you should be going to sign up for Mrs. Ortega's class NOW!! :Dread more

There's no way I could have passed the CPC on the first try without the Medical Coding Academy and Mrs. Ortega's dedication. I strongly recommend attending the academy if you are interested in coding. Only attend if you are willing to work hard! Kudos to Mrs. Ortega!read more

I recommend the Medical Coding Academy for a number of reason.Upon signing up for the CPC (Certified Professional Coders) Class I watched Mrs.Ortega’s YouTube videos and with doing that I just new I had to take her class. Mrs. Ortega is more than knowledgeable about all subject matters in regards to the Medical Coding and any and all of the classes that are offered by the Medical Coding Academy.In the 3 day Coding class there were many people that walk in to class of many different walks of life and careers.But while in that class Mrs.Ortega is able to project a understanding of any and all subject matter to the whole class. Mrs.Ortega makes sure that you are more that prepared for for the class, the state board test and real life on the job functions .I actually went to college for Medical billing and Coding and obtain Associates Degree in Medical Billing and Coding. But I learned far more in the 3 day boot camp class offered by the Medical Coding Academy then I learned while obtaining my associates,to were I felt more than comfort taking the state board test immediately after the class. I took the test on July 30, 2018 and I passed the CPC with a 90% out of 100.Since July 2018 I have also take the following classes and have scheduled to take my state board exam for the following- Certified Outpatient Coder- COC Certified Professional Medical Auditor-CPMA Certified Professional Biller-CPB Once completing the above three test I have every intention of registering for and taking the following 3 additional classes and state board tests for the following- Certified Risk Adjuster Certified Compliance Officer Certified Medical Coding Manager I want to one day have my own medical coding and billing office. So these class and certifications are directly in line with my future becoming even more a success. To all the of you that are on the fence about take a class with the Medical Coding Academy , make a investment in yourself to where you can go work at any doctor’s office, hospital, or even go to work for yourself and start your own business.Mrs.Ortega is a superior educator as well as all of the other 5 educators that are on this panel of educating. Choosing the Medical Coding Academy will be one of the best decisions that you will make in your life time. Sincerely Claresiaread more

I recently attended this class an I would like to say that Mrs. Ortega is one-in-a-million! She helped someone who is just starting out in the healthcare profession pass the CPC exam on the first try! That takes one special person and! Thank you Mrs. Ortega for sharing your teaching gift with all of us. I recommend this class to anyone wanting to pass your exam with ease.read more

You know the saying don't believe the hype? WELL YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!!!! Let me tell you, when I was first looking for medical coding courses I ran across Mrs Ortega 3-day course. I will say that I was very skeptical at first I did tons and tons of research of the course. I watched all YouTube videos I read just about every single review and even watch the reviews on YouTube. so then I thought to myself all these people can't be lying lol. So I took that "dive". I took the 3-day course in boy when I tell you it is intense it is but you so freaking much it's crazy. The passion that Mrs Ortega has for you to learn the skill too code, the passion that she has to teach is amazing. I love her so much for what she does and how she does it. I have the utmost respect for her. Don't get me wrong she is a bulldog when it comes to teaching when it comes to you knowing everything. And if you don't understand something she will take the time out with you to make sure that you understand, to make sure that you pass that test, to make sure that you Excel in the coding world. So if you're on the fence about taking this class, don't be. I promise you it is worth everything. Don't waste time taking those semester courses for coding. TAKE MRS ORTEGA 3-DAY COURSE ASAP YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT I PROMISE YOU SHE'S AMAZING. Oh yeah one more thing in order to pass the exam on the first try, you must and I repeat YOU MUST DO EVERYTHING THAT SHE TELLS YOU TO DO WITHIN THAT 3-DAY COURSE. I mean it. Everything is for a reason.read more

Ms. Ortega is an incredible teacher. I was skeptical and in total disbelief at first, but she proved me wrong. Even though, the three day course was tiresome, it was all worth it. Ms. Ortega is thorough in her method of teaching and if you follow her tips, the exam is a cakewalk. I immediately took the exam after my 3-day course and passed with flying colors. Ms. Ortega is Godsend. I would recommend MCA to anyone who is interested in coding.read more

Mrs. Ortega and the folks at Medical Coding Academy are the very best. The three-day CPC course was lots of work, with long hours, but it was worth it! Passing the exam on the first try was my goal and with MCA's tutelage, I succeeded.read more

Hello!! I would recommend this three day course to anyone who wants to become a Professional Medical Coder. Mrs.Ortiga is an amazing teacher and she has a best teaching style. Her course is completely organized. I'm new to coding and I have zero coding experience. I attended the 3- day course at Dallas, Texas (end of July) and sat for the exam on the 4th day. Well folks, I PASSED on my first try. Now I'm a CPC-A. All thanks to Mrs.Ortega and Medical Coding Academy. Without Mrs.Ortega this wouldn't have happened. This class is a real big deal. The course is intense, you'll have to work hard and no doubt that the results are so rewarding. I'm so grateful to Mrs.Ortega and MCA for providing me with all the materials and knowledge that gave me confidence to take the board exam on the very next day and now I'm CPC-A. Thank you Mrs.Ortega & MCA !!read more

I recently took the 3 day CPC class and followed it with the very intimidating exam. Thanks to the teachings of Ms Ortega I passed on the 1st try!! I would recommend this 3 day boot camp to anyone. Her staff are incredibly hard working and helpful, and Ms Ortega actually cares about her students. You put in the time and effort and she will get you there!read more

I passed first try, no experience! Long story short, I attended a one year vocational university, Wasted $20k, they did not prepare me for the exam one bit. I started looking into study guides and how to study for the exams when I came across medical coding academy. I remember i watched two videos, and immediately went to see if they were coming to Chicagoland area, but i missed it by just five days. So, i was back to square one. Suddenly it clicked. If i can waste 20k at a university that did absolutely nothing for me i can spend $1200, for a miracle. I flew all the way from Illinois to Dallas Texas for this class. It was worth the long days in Mrs. Ortega’s class. We had roughly 100 students in the class and she managed to teach the entire class to the point where every student understand and she made sure of it. Words cannot describe how amazing Mrs. Ortega and the entire staff are. I had no clue how or even to sign up and register for my exam but they helped me out with everything even before I signed up for their classes. They are willing to go out of their way to help you, you will truly not regret taking any of the exam prep classes. They are dedicated to their work, helpful, caring, and just truly amazing. I cannot wait to continue my alphabet soup as i will without a doubt, take more of their classes (:read more

I completed the 3-Day Medical Coding Course for my CPC-A in Dallas, Texas this last week and I learned so much through it! I came out of high school with zero medical experience and was able to complete the course and take the test. Mrs. Ortega was a superb teacher!!! She kept the class moving along and took time to explain each of the different concepts clearly. She gave the students one-on-one time and answered our questions promptly. The assistants were also very helpful and helped me keep up on my projects. I loved the course and the way that Mrs. Ortega taught us all. I am looking forward to getting to obtain a medical coding outpatient job for while I am in college. This course was definitely worth the time and money necessary!! Without it, I don't know how else I would've been able to finish the test, let alone get a good score on it. Thank you so much, Medical Coding Academy!!!!!read more

Where do I start? Just finished a 3 day boot camp in Dallas. WOW. So glad I took this step. Yes, I did have doubts, and people tried to discourage me, but that didn't stop me from making a huge life changing decision. Totally worth the $$. I am signing up for more "alphabet soup" as Mrs. Ortega calls it. Mrs Ortega and her staff ROCKS!!! Incredibly helpful, they know their stuff. If you choose to take any class, and I pray you do, DO THE PREWORK BEFORE THE CLASS! If I could make that statement bold and underlined, I would. Many people didn't do the prework, and had a hard time staying with the class. I had a blast. Yes, the days are long, but it's a little pain for a long term game. I'm 46, and I was able to keep up lol. Have a BLESSED day.read more
